you don't know what's in store for us in the future. i guaranfuckingtee that in a couple of decades, a few young people like you will be saying "i wish i was back in the 90's. things were a hell of a lot simpler then, and there was less of these [INSERT NEW DEROGATORY CULTURE HERE]. and i like Supergrass." and you'll tell them "ah, yes. the good old 90's. some good times they were. i mean Thatcher retired!" and will fail to mention the Gulf war, Oklahoma bombing, Arkansas school massacre, and other instances.
what about in the 60's? Martin Luther King was assassinated along with Robert Kennedy, the IRA were still very active, and the Vietnam war was raging through the whole decade, dominating the 60's. if you went back to a certain time, some problems may be resolved, but others, if not more, would replace them. terrible things were going on back then too, and a contributing factor to modern times looking so bad is probably the greater connectivity we have to anyone on the planet, and therefore news spreads fast.
you've heard of the atrocities and problems going on during the 40-50's, why wouldn't anything like that be happening during a time after that? granted you said you apparently wouldn't mind the bad things, but you come across as thinking there were less problems back then. if its apparently so bad now, and was bad before then, why would the time in between be better than both?
when i said earlier i'd go back to the 50's for farm work, it would mean less H&S legislations and easier business, but also incredibly hard work seeing as the advanced machinery used today wouldn't have been invented back then. it'd also mean less money, less veterinary care, and less security about being robbed or burned down.
also your whole post screamed 'the world is against me and i don't belong here', which is basically what i hear kids at secondary school saying.
fuck right off.

No, none of that emo high school crap. I have a huge problem with modern times, and I'm sorry if you can't understand that, but it's how I am. To be connected to a certain period of time and wish you could live there is nothing like a school kid, you're just not translating it right. I don't belong here, because modern lifestyle, anything, form music, to television and clothing, I have a dislike for. I never once said the world is against me, you just misinterpreted it. I just said I don't like what has become of it. The 60's is my era of choice, and I say fuck the rest. And I will never praise the 90's oneday. I never praise any decade past 1975. I never said once that times before the 60's were bad either. I said it got worse and worse as time went on once the 60's ended, at least, that's how I see it. After the mid 70's I feel life began to detiorate. Why can you not just accept that I feel that way and move on? I don't know what's to come in the future, you are right, and I have no desire to either.
Also, your avatar represents yet another thing I love about the 60's.
